Progress

 I have been doing a lot of ironing, cutting and preparing this week, getting ready for Scrub Stitching

Fabric cut for one quilt

two quilts

#3 quilt, more fabric is coming in the mail, I hope it gets here before the weekend. I am doing fat quarter blocks for these quilts so they should come together quite quickly . (She says hopefully!!)

When I was in the kitchen this morning  I could hear and see a galah outside, I thought it might nave been interested in the vege garden below but it's mate was in the tree just a bit further along feasting on these red berries, it was not at all bothered that I went out to say hello and take some pictures.

I spent quite a bit of time on the kitchen this morning preparing the figs for some more jam, there are so many figs on the tree, the birds are having a feast, I watched a silver eye demolish a fig about the same size as its body when I went out this morning.  I have made 10 jars this season so far. 

The Churn Dash quilt is finished - Ready for show and tell at Scrub Stitching

This scrappy quilt is finished, thanks to Joan for the quilting. Joan did a spider web design and it looks amazing.

and the Foundation Paper Pieced hearts are finished.

Two more blocks have been done for Anthology, sorry blogger decided they had to be turned around!

I was given these blocks, they are the last of Kates things, Judy, one local quilter has, 

I am going to add them to the sides of this quilt top started ages ago and never finished, it is long enough but not wide enough, this may just solve the problem.

I had better be off and sort the mess in the sewing room.

Happy stitching.

A Bit of this and that

 This last week has been a week of trying to cut fabric for a new quilt (not too successfully) and adding borders to existing quilt tops that have been waiting for a long time

This quilt top was given to me for Oncology, it has now been quilted and moved to the binding pile.

This quilt was made from left over charm packs, it has had a border added and is now in the to be quilted pile

This top was donated for Oncology, it has been trimmed and borders added, it is also in the quilting pile.

My piles are moving from one to the other slowly.

These blocks were given to me, they were left over from a quilt, it is now a flimsy but needs borders. Love the purple batiks in this one.

I have been asked to make a cowboy/horse theme quilt, I have some horse panels to use and am making blocks to add to the quilt

Some cowboy boot blocks, I need to make lots more.

This weeks Anthology block, some of the points do not meet up well, but I feel I am slowly getting better at the one and a half inch half square triangles.

Tomorrow I am off on retreat for part of the week, so I need to be cutting fabric for blocks and packing.

Happy stitching.
